Thanks for the reply Sune. I have done exactly what you suggest, played the 8mm tape with my old camcorder and did a passthrough with my DV camera. I wasn't very happy with the results though. They were acceptable but I was hoping that someone with "professional" equipment might get better results. Gee, I hope it's not true that this is the way that everyone is doing it. :-(
